"gv", "sv", in such words as "knabo", "kvin", "gvidi", "sviso".

b. The combination "kz", as in "ekzisti", "ekzameno", must not be
modified to the "gs" or "ks" represented by "x" in "exist", "execute".

c. The combination "sc", as in "escepte", "scias", is equivalent to the
combination "sts" in "laST Said", "firST Song", pronounced together
rapidly. The "s" in a word beginning with "sc" may be sounded with the
end of the preceding word, if that word ends in a vowel, as "mis-cias"
for "mi scias".

d. The "n" and "g" are pronounced separately in the combination "ng", in
such words as "lingvo", "angulo", producing the sound of "ng" heard in
"linger", not that in "singer".

e. Each of two similar letters is clearly sounded, as "interrilato",
"ellasi", like "inter-relate", "well-laid".


SYLLABLES.

7. Each word contains as many syllables as it has vowels and diphthongs.
The division of syllables within a word is as follows:

a. A single consonant goes with the following vowel, as "pa-no",
"be-la", "a-e-ro".

b. A consonant followed by "l" or "r" (which are liquids) goes with the
"l" or "r", as in "ta-blo", "a-kra", "a-gra-bla".
